22 Claims.

Our invention relates to an improvement in impact crushers and has for one purpose the provision of an improved impact member for the impeller of an impact crusher.

Another purpose is the provision of a removable replaceable impeller member which can readily be applied.

Another purpose is the provision of such a member which is centrifugally locked in position.

Another purpose is the provision of such a member which is normally held against chattering or choking when the impeller is rotating at speeds insufiicient to' maintain the centrifugal locking action, as when the impeller is accelerating or decelerating.

Another purpose is the provision of chatter preventing means which can readily be released to permit the removal of the impact member from, the impeller.

Other purposes will appear from, time to time in the course of the specification and claims.

The invention is illustrated more or less diagrammatically in the accompanying drawings wherein:

Fig. 1 is a vertical section taken l-l of Fig. 2;

Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is a similar section with the parts in a different position; and

Fig. 4 is a section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 1.

Like parts are indicated by like symbols throughout the specification and drawings.

Referring to the drawings, I generally indicates the shaft of the impeller of an impact crusher. It will be realized that any suitable means may be employed for rotating the shaft, the details of which do not form part of the present invention and are not herein shown. 2 is any suitable impeller hub mounted on or keyed to the shaft I, as by the key 3. 4 indicate any suitable webs extending from the hub 2 and supporting the outer shell or portion 5 of the impeller. It will be observed that the portion or portions 5 have outer more or less spiral surfaces 5, which extend from a portion of maximum diameter I to a portion of minimum diameter 8.

Any suitable number of impellers may be emon the line ployed. Where two are employed, as in the present instance, there will be two spiral faces 6, the point of maximum diameter I of each being opposed to the point of minimum diameter I of the opposite, and being separated therefrom by a space suflicient to permit the endwise insertion of the impeller member.

A pocket having a more or less cylindrical inner wall 9 is provided. At the bottom of this pocket 9 is a guideway bounded by opposite parallel walls i0 and bottom walls II, which converge downwardly, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. Extending inwardly from the generally cylindrical wall 9, at an upper portion thereof, are lugs l2, of which two are shown at each side of the pocket, arranged in pairs opposite each other. The upper walls of the pocket are also oppositely cut away at two points, as at l3 and H, as shown for example in Fig. 4.

The impact member includes an impact portion or bar proper, l5, which has a forward edge It and a rearward sloping face ll. It will be understood that preferably the forward edge It i farther from the axis of rotation of the impeller than is the sloping face IT. The bar is herein shown with a generally radial forward face l9, but it will be understood that the forward face may be otherwise formed, if desired. The bar has a sloped inner face 20, from which extends downwardly a pair of lugs 2|, each of which has generally cylindrically walled outer extensions 22, 23 at each side thereof. It will be understood that when the impact member is in crushing position the cylindrical faces of the members 22, 23 abut against the oppositecylindrically surfaced lugs or projections l2.

25 is a lockin lug extending rearwardly from the impact bar l5 and is adapted to penetrate one of the cavities M in the wall of the cylindrical pocket, as shown for example in Fig. 4. It will be understood that the impact member may be inserted by aligning the lugs2l with the pairs of apertures l3 and I4, this position of the parts being illustrated in Fig. 3. This permits the lugs 2| to penetrate within the cylindrical wall pocket 9. Then the impact member is moved endwise until it is in the position in which it is shown in Figs. 2 and 4. It may then be slightly rotated in order to engage the locking lug 25 with one of the pockets l4, the position in which the parts are shown in Fig. 4. This engagement with a locking ing 25 prevents any unintended endwise movement of the impact member, and no end plates or other securing means are necessary.

When the impeller is rotating, the impact member will be centrifugally locked in the position in which it is shown in Fig. 1, with the locking lug 25 in locking position and with the rear upper faces of the lugs 2| abutting against the upper wall of the pocket, as shown at 30 in Figs. 1 and 4. However, when the impeller is at rest, or has just begun to accelerate, or has substantially decelerated, means are preferably provided for substituting the centrifugal locking thrust. We provide a double wedge member, having the opposite wedge elements 40, 4|, normally thrust apart by the coil spring 42, the ends of which penetrate pockets 43 in the members 40, 4|. The wedges are formed with faces conforming to the faces II at the bottom of the pocket, as shown in Fig. 2, and also conforming to corresponding wedge surfaces 44, which may be used at the bottoms of the lugs 2|. Thus, when the spring 42 is free to act, it thrusts the wedges 40, 4| apart, and they in turn hold the impact member locked in the position in which it is shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

When it is desired to remove the impact member, means are provided for drawing the wedges together. A bolt 45, for example, may be employed, with a pin 46 penetrating a corresponding slot 4'! at the end of the wedge 40. The pin is threaded, as at 48, and is provided with any suitable means, such as the nut 49, for drawing the two wedges 40, 4| together against the expansion of the spring 42, as shown in Fig. 3. When the wedges are thus drawn together, their effective wedging action against the bottom surfaces 44 of the flanges 2| is terminated, and the impact member may be rotated sufilciently to free the locking lug 25 from the aperture I4. It is then moved endwise sufficiently to align the lugs 2| with the pairs of apertures I31 and I4, and the impact member is then lifted outwardly from the impeller. The result is a structure of maximum simplicity and ease of insertion and removal.

It will be understood that in the use of the device, any suitable means may be employed for feeding the material to be crushed into the path of movement of the impeller members. Illustrated, for example, is a vertical chute Bll, down which the material to be crushed may be dropped by gravity. It will be understood that the impeller is rotated at sufficient speed and is of sufficient size and mass to exercise a crushing impact against the particles dropped in the path of movement of the impeller I5.

It will be realized that, whereas we have described and illustrated a practical and operative device, nevertheless many changes may be made in the size, shape, number and disposition of parts without departing from the spirit of the invention. We therefore wish our description and drawings to be taken as in a broad sense illustrative or diagrammatic, rather than as limiting us to our precise showing.

The use and operation of our invention are as follows:

' {peller having an axially extending socket open small in mass in relation to the mass of the bar as a whole. Also, no matter how far worn down the bar l5 becomes, there is still sufficient mass and sufficient leverage so that the centrifugal effect of the rotation of the impeller keeps the impact member locked in position, with the looking lug 25 penetrating the aperture M.

We claim:
